<p>The <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> class is an abstract base class that encapsulates the look and feel of a GUI. QStyleFactory creates a <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> object using the <a href="qstylefactory.html#create">create</a>() function and a key identifying the style. The styles are either built-in or dynamically loaded from a style plugin (see <a href="qstyleplugin.html">QStylePlugin</a>).</p>
<p>The valid keys can be retrieved using the <a href="qstylefactory.html#keys">keys</a>() function. Typically they include "windows", "motif", "cde", "plastique" and "cleanlooks". Depending on the platform, "windowsxp", "windowsvista" and "macintosh" may be available. Note that keys are case insensitive.</p>
